Down to here, down to there.

Do you notice anything different about me?

Neither did Fixit.

Admittedly he was too busy noticing the astonishing amount of housework I'd done during the day, which you know: there would have been t-r-o-u-b-l-e if he hadn't noticed THAT. But as he walked around admiring all the clear surfaces and gleaming floors he said Didn't you leave the house today? and I flicked my blow-waved hair around like a chick in a nightclub and said Just once. Even then...

I splurged on a pair of earrings recently and put them on, and hoped Gadget wouldn't notice, but he somehow noticed immediately. Go figure. I think it may have something to do with wanting vs not wanting something noticed...
